SNMP Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers,
workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to
manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network
management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices
implementing SNMP.
